Bricksync site down; how to donate?

tons_of_bricks

So I was going to donate some money to Bricksync by going through the donate button on their site, but now the site's down. It's been down for over 8 hours now. Is there any other way to donate and get the registration key or do I just have to wait and hope the site gets up and running again?

Thanks!

Huh, that's odd. I just tried on another device and it worked. For some reason it stopped working on my main laptop. Oh, well; at least it's working.

Thanks for the reminder to make a donation.

I just wish it was still supported. Bricklink is going to break bricksync very soon, and I don't know what I'd do if that happens...

It's not supported anymore? And how do you know BL is going to break Bricksync soon?

Brikomania

I assume it. Not long ago I remember seeing a post about bricklink XP (new version) coming soon, and that it wouldn't most likely support the old tools (ie brickstock, bricksync, etc) they will most likely need to be updated...

Bricklink XP should not affect the back end of Bricklink, which is what Bricksync uses. This has been the argument to not change the old Bricklink from their side for awhile that they cannot edit the way things are arranged in the background. I highly doubt XP will cause problems, I believe this was an answer to dissuade people from putting money into 3rd party platforms in case they break, that way BL isn't the person to complain too.

I would like to hear if it's not supported. Would like Coral pieces to sync.

@BrikomaniaES do you have a source with information about this? What i can see here : https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453 it is about making the site mobile friendly. This shouldnt affect the current situation.

@BasKrie did you use https:// in fron of the domain ? it seems there is no ssl sertificate so then the website looks down, when it isn't.

@leopard37 what do you mean with coral pieces ?

"it is about making the site mobile friendly"

About time!

@unbrickable All colors are hard coded into bricksync and if he isn't updating the programming anymore, it will never sync that new color.

No source, just this!

-redacted, not so sure it's polite to link to another site-

Just a forum post saying that they have no guarantee they will support Brickstock or other inventory syncing software after XP is released

@unbrickable I used it as I posted the URL, so without the s (in https)
